Abstract:
A honeycomb layered Na3Ni2SbO6 is synthesized as a cathode for sodium-ion batteries. This new host material exhibits a high capacity of 117 mA h g(-1), a remarkable cyclability with 70% capacity retention over 500 cycles at a 2C rate, and a superior rate capability with >75% capacity delivered even at a very high rate of 30 C (6000 mA g(-1)). These results open a new perspective to develop high-capacity and high-rate Na-ion batteries for widespread electric-energy-storage applications.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
